Jeicy Camera Works

The name Jeicy Camera Works is found on the top cover of the Jeicy, a Japanese Leica copy made in the 1950s, of which very few examples were made. The cameras were assembled by Kumagai Genji,[1] former developer of the Nippon wartime Leica copy. This was Kumagai's last attempt at camera production,[1] perhaps as an individual business. The name "Jeicy Camera Works" itself did not correspond to an actual company,[2] and was continuing the tradition of dummy names ending in Camera Works, used in advertising material from the prewar period.
